The suspects allegedly behind a holiday villa rental scam, which conned victims all over Spain and in the UK, have been tracked down by the Guardia Civil and include UK residents.
According to a spokesman for the force, operation ‘rent-a-fake’ was launched a year ago, after a victim reported they had been swindled.
The method used involved stealing the profiles of advertisers on well-known holiday rental websites with villas in Alicante and Cádiz provinces.
